Review of Madhumati

Madhumati (1958)
9/10
Saturated story, bit slow, but still enjoyable
20 July 2020
Madhumati has a predictable storyline although some scenes were shocking. Many other old Bollywood movies had similar stories, although Madhumati may have been one of the first and hence still new for its time. The movie went into the supernatural realm to complete the story, and had odd coincidences. From a modern perspective it felt a bit slow.

I liked the portrayal of simple village life of historic India. There were beautiful scenic views of the countryside, but it's black and white. Songs were really nice and many of them have been popular for generations throughout India.

It's a simple movie, not intriguing like modern thrillers and mystery movies, but still enjoyable with the family.
